Diarrhea and vomiting together usually indicate a viral infection (gastroenteritis, common in babies). The main risk here is dehydration from fluid loss.
What you need to do:
- Give small amounts of fluid frequently: If vomiting is present, giving baby large amounts at once can trigger more vomiting. Offer breast milk or formula (if baby is under 6 months) or age-appropriate oral rehydration solution (ORS) by teaspoon or sips, every 5-10 minutes. As you see baby is keeping it down, gradually increase the amount.
- Monitor urination: The number of wet diapers in the last 6-8 hours is the most important indicator. If no wet diapers in this time, that's a serious warning sign.
- Watch for additional symptoms: If you see fever, bloody diarrhea, or green-yellow (bilious) vomiting, contact your pediatrician the same day.
Emergency (call 112 or go to ER):
- Baby's lips or mouth interior are very dry, or no tears when crying
- Eyes look sunken, the soft spot on top of head is noticeably depressed
- Baby is unusually sleepy/lethargic, and not taking fluids
Don't delay — go to the emergency room.
